Public Speaking Club
We strongly believe Public Speaking skills are an essential quality our students must possess. A strong public speaking persona is an excellent self-esteem booster and helps them overcome fears.In addition, it can improve critical thinking skills and help reevaluate one’s communication habits. Students learn how to write speeches,effectively communicate, and get their message across to a larger audience. Confidence gained through public speaking helps students progress as leaders and as members of their communities.
